 On my last trip to Paris, my traveling companion wanted to attend a Society of Friends (Quaker) Meeting. Quakers are not all that numerous in Paris, but through the Internet we were able to find where their place of worship was along with a contact person. As far as I know, there is only one Quaker Meeting in Paris. As is the custom with Quakers, a letter of introduction was mailed to the Paris Meeting telling them of our desire to join them. Of course we were welcomed with greetings and open arms. Although the Meeting was small (less than a dozen people) it was a glorious experience to be able to worship with others. It was a wonderful cultural and spiritual experience. After the meeting, the social interaction was especially rewarding to me. We met travelers from Paris and other parts of Europe. We exchanged travel stories and tips. In fact, we were given some “secret” insider tips on the best markets to be found on that Sunday.
I have also attended Catholic mass in Nice, France. Again, the cultural and spiritual experience was wonderful. However, it was not as social as the Quaker Meeting. In general, I find that the smaller and more “local” the church is, the more I get out of the service. For instance, going to the Cathedral of Notre Dame is great, but going to a smaller local church is even better.
Another place in Paris I would recommend going to service is at the Church of St. Sulpice. You may recall it as being the location of a gripping scene from “The Da Vinci Code” book and movie. The Roman Catholic mass is beautiful and at the 10:30 a.m. service, the concert featuring one of the grandest organs in the world is outstanding.
One more place that I would suggest going is to the American Cathedral in Paris on avenue Georges V. The church has a diverse and welcoming congregation. Of course the entire service is in English and many of the attendees are American or at least English speakers. The church offers many cultural programs too.

Re: Attending Religious Services in Paris
My parents: a blind french woman and a Indonesian born, Dutchman raised in Canada (both Quakers) met at the Quaker Meeting in Paris back in the 70's purely by coincidence. My mother offered her new friend her apartment to stay in while she was going away on holidays, and after my father came back to Canada, they continued to corespond. The following winter my mother came to visit my father who lived in a cabin in the woods with no running water, hydro, shower or functionning indoor toilet never forgetting that the nearest neighbor was over 1 km away. Apparently they fell in love, because she came back the summer of that same year and he proposed. They married the following February, and my mother followed my father back to Canada where she has remained for the past 31 years and they remain happily married. I will be forever greatful to the Quaker Meeting in Paris because if it wasn't for them, I would never have been born!

Re: Attending Religious Services in Paris
Why not visit a Russian Orthodox Church it has by far the best singing and an unbeatable atmosphere. Such as the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral at 12 rue Daru (8th arrondisse4ment)
The cathedral built by Russian refugees escaping the Russian revolution (1917) also has some fine icons that once belonged to members of the Imperial family.
There are some Russian restaurants in the neighbourhood.
Try their delicious soups - such as the soljanka. Desserts such as vatrouchka, a Russian cheese cake equally irresistible plus of course the appetizers small salted gherkins that you dip in honey and sour cream a glass of vodka on the side.

Seeking a bit of timeshare relief can be very easy if you find the right people to help you. If you have tried to sell a timeshare in the past, you know that the resale market is dead and the only way to cancel a timeshare is through the right people.

If you are visiting Paris for the first time, a time share rental is the perfect lodging option – time shares are more spacious than comparable hotels but similar in price. And after you've visited the City of Lights once, you just may consider purchasing a time share resale so that you can own vacation property in the world's most romantic city!
